Liam Rawlings races away with top club award.
Liam Rawlings was the standout achiever at Owestry Olympian Juniors’ annual awards evening, hosted at Oswestry Cricket Club, earlier this month.
Cross country runner Rawlings (U15), competed for Shropshire in the UK Inter-Counties Championships, where he came third.
Not only that, Rawlings broke club records at both 1500m and 3000m, as well as coming sixth in the English Schools Intermediate Boys 3000m final.
